Graduation cupcakes are cupcakes made to order to celebrate finishing the course from mortarboard and scroll designs to a “Class of” box for the whole cohort each handcrafted fresh for the big achievement, whether it is nursery, school or university. A box of grad cupcakes is easy to share at the celebration and far more personal than a shop-bought treat, all piped by hand at an independent cake shop Birmingham trusts.
We are an independent, family-run cake factory in Birmingham, trusted with more than 950 five-star Google reviews (4.9★) and holding a 5-star FSA food hygiene rating.
Years of hard work deserve a proper celebration, and cupcakes make it easy. A box of graduation cup cakes is perfect for the party, for handing round to the cohort, or as a gift to the proud graduate, everyone takes their own, and you can mix mortarboards, scrolls and a personal message in a single box. From the smallest nursery graduate to a university leaver, there is a design to mark the moment.
This guide covers the designs, the flavours, and how to order, including bulk boxes for a whole class, with the full run-through of ideas towards the end of the page.
Graduations come in all sizes. Nursery graduation cupcakes mark a child’s first big milestone with cute mortarboards and bright colours, school leavers’ boxes celebrate the end of an era, and university designs in subject or institution colours give a grown-up grad the recognition they have earned.
Celebrating a whole class or course? We make larger boxes for graduation ceremonies, departmental celebrations and leavers’ events. For bulk institutional or workplace orders, our Corporate Cakes service handles larger quantities and coordinated branding.
Configure your order through our online shop at any hour, or contact us directly for a bespoke design. We confirm the designs, colours, names or year, flavours and delivery details with you before we begin, then bake everything fresh for your date, nothing is frozen and nothing is mass-produced. For a fully bespoke design, our Personalised Cakes service covers the most ambitious work.
The flavour is yours to choose. Our cupcakes come in our signature sponges, Vanilla, Chocolate, Vanilla & Chocolate, Red Velvet and Rainbow Vanilla, topped with a buttercream from Vanilla, Chocolate, White Chocolate, Milk Chocolate, Strawberry, Lemon, Oreo, Biscoff, Hazelnut or Cream Cheese. For a crowd, vanilla and chocolate are the reliable favourites, while a colourful Rainbow Vanilla sponge is a fun surprise for younger graduates.
On dietary matters: our base recipe is nut-free, meat-free and alcohol-free and is suitable for vegetarians. We are not an allergen-free kitchen and we do not offer egg-free cakes, and because our kitchen handles a range of ingredients we cannot guarantee against the presence of any allergen. If anyone celebrating has a diagnosed food allergy, please speak to us before ordering.
Candles, helium foil balloons and a personalised message card finish the box. For a centrepiece to go with your cupcakes, our Graduation Cakes are full of designs for the big day, and for a larger institutional or workplace celebration, our Corporate Cakes handle bulk orders. For every other cupcake style, our full Cupcakes Birmingham range has you covered.
Every order is handcrafted to order and delivered across Birmingham and the West Midlands by our own vans, never a postal courier.

Unfortunately, no. Our cake shop Birmingham delivers to all B1 to B99 postcodes, and we use advanced route management software to optimise delivery routes and timings. Changing one delivery slot would affect other customers and disrupt the carefully planned schedule, so we are unable to adjust delivery time windows once they have been allocated.
We appreciate your understanding as we work to ensure every cake is delivered efficiently, safely, and on time.
Yes, our cake shop Birmingham can accommodate a change of delivery address if you contact us before 8:00 am on the day of delivery and the new address is within half a mile of the original location. Because we deliver across all B1 to B99 postcodes using carefully optimised routes, changes beyond this distance may disrupt other customers’ deliveries and therefore cannot be guaranteed.
We appreciate your understanding as we work hard to ensure every cake is delivered efficiently, safely, and on time.

The best graduation cupcakes celebrate the graduate’s own achievement. Here are the ideas people request most, each hand-piped fresh in our kitchen.
The classic. Cupcakes topped with little mortarboard caps and rolled scrolls are instantly graduation, and look brilliant lined up across a box.
Make it theirs. A box spelling out the graduation year, the graduate’s name or “WELL DONE” turns the cupcakes into a personal centrepiece for the party.
For the youngest grads. Nursery graduation cupcakes and school leavers’ boxes in bright, cheerful colours celebrate a first big milestone in style.
For a relaxed celebration, humorous designs, cheeky messages and playful toppers, raise a smile. For a matching funny centrepiece, our Graduation Cakes range covers funny graduation cakes too.
For a grown-up grad, cupcakes in their course or institution colours, with a nod to their subject, make a smart, thoughtful tribute to the work they have put in.
For something to treasure, an edible photo of the graduate or the group turns the box into a keepsake of the achievement.
Whatever the milestone, we will design your graduation cupcakes to match.
Ready to celebrate the achievement? Order online in minutes, we accept Apple Pay, Google Pay, Amazon Pay, PayPal, Klarna and Clearpay through Stripe, around the clock. For a bespoke design, a big cohort box or a matching cake, message us on WhatsApp and we will bring your idea to life.
